Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives (CEA), known in English as the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, is France’s public research organization for nuclear and low‑carbon technologies. Founded in 1945, it conducts fundamental and applied R&D and provides technology transfer to industry across energy, digital, health, and defense domains. CEA participates in national and European research programs and operates major research centers, notably at Saclay, Grenoble, and Cadarache.
For the chemical and process industries, CEA develops solutions that enable decarbonized production and improved efficiency, including hydrogen and electrolysis technologies, energy storage and batteries, advanced materials, catalysis, process modeling and intensification, and recycling sciences. It offers pilot lines, prototyping, testing, and techno‑economic and lifecycle assessments, and collaborates with companies through joint projects and licensing to support industrial deployment.
Also known as French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission.
The project aims to produce low-carbon eFuels for maritime and aviation sectors, enhancing regional fuel security and utilizing Australia's renewable resources. Completion is expected by April 2026.
The MultiPLHY project starts the world's largest high-temp electrolyzer, aiming to replace fossil hydrogen and reduce emissions in refining, showcasing SOEC technology's efficiency.
The partnership aims to boost EU clean tech production, leveraging synergies in energy, circular economy, and automotive sectors for sustainable growth.
